Renewable energy comes from sources that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Nonrenewable energy sources, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), are finite and cannot be easily replenished. The use of fossil fuels has negative environmental impacts, including air pollution and global warming. Renewable energy is often referred to as clean energy because it generates little pollution.
